According to public information, UDM mines produced by Factory X28 can destroy targets at a maximum depth of up to 125 m.

The Vietnam People's Navy has just displayed and introduced two new types of mines produced by Factory X28. |
 |
First is the KMP mine. This is a weapon to defend against amphibious vehicles landing by sea, river, in narrow channels, with a depth of up to 20m. |
 |
KMP mines operate on the principle of detonation, automatic depth determination, using multiple means of dropping up to 1.5m high. The mines were tested onshore and at sea in 2013 with good results. |
 |
KMP torpedoes are manufactured by Factory X28, Department of Naval Engineering; accepted by the Ministry of National Defense Council in 2014 with good results. |
 |
The second mine introduced is the UĐM. This is a non-explosive mine, dropped in defensive mine obstacles to destroy enemy surface ships at depths of 12-50m and submarines at depths of up to 125m. |
 |
The UDM is dropped from surface ships or aircraft. In 2014, the mine was tested and dropped, and the explosion test at sea achieved good results, with all parameters being equivalent to the mines produced by the Soviet Union. |
 |
UDM mines are also produced by Factory X28, Department of Naval Engineering. They are extremely powerful weapons in the task of defending and attacking waterways, but to deploy mines in a long, wide sea area where enemy submarines and surface warships can appear and pass through requires high intelligence and extensive combat experience. |
 |
In particular, without submarines, using mines to block enemy shipping routes, enemy ports and piers would be extremely difficult or would no longer have the element of secrecy as when using planes to lay mines, which would be ineffective and unsafe. |
 |
Combined with submarines, this type of weapon will be extremely dangerous when the ship is secretly deployed. Therefore, although it was born a long time ago, to this day, mines are still a nightmare for even the most modern warships and submarines.
